A new family-friendly festival is taking over Playland and the PNE Fairgrounds this summer.
On Sunday, June 18, the inaugural South Asian Family Festival (SAF Festival) will launch with a full day of music, arts, and cultural programming.
Planned by event producers Ron Dhaliwal and Happy Joshi, the SAF Festival is expected to be one of the largest of its kind in Western Canada with thousands of guests in attendance.
“We are so excited to bring together the largest number of musicians, comedians, performers for a full day of stage programming, but this event will include so much more,” says Joshi in a press release.
“The festival will include a marketplace, with vendors from both Canada and India, a fashion show featuring top Indian and Bollywood designers, Playland’s rides which will all be included in the price, a car and truck show and shine, plus many other features and attractions,” adds Dhaliwal.
The full entertainment lineup will be announced in the coming weeks along with ticket information.
